~ happy new year

I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions. Why set myself up for failure? However, eating healthier is something that always seems to be on my mental list, and the thought resonates louder and with more intensity about this time of year. I know the benefits associated with eating healthier would blow me away, but I still find it a constant battle. What better way to bring in the new year than a trip to the Farmers Market? I did just that in Winter Park, FL while visiting my folks over the holiday.

Who knew vegetables could be so beautiful and inspiring?

Oh, there were flowers too...

But I couldn't stay away from the produce!

The mosaic possibilities were obvious almost immediately as I was snapping away at the stands...

Happy New Year Jan...wishing you the best life has to offer in 2012. Cheers to healthier eating (one of my many many resolutions) and this post sure makes a beautiful argument for it! So many stunning and colorful pictures. If you discover any secrets to making it any easier and figuring out that a salad is as good as a bowl of pasta...please please please let me know! Thus far I haven't been so successful:)Cheers to a great and healthy new year!

OMG, when presented in such an Artistic Display of Natural Beauty how could one NOT want to suddenly eat healthier!?! Their presentation at this Farmer's Market is superb, I'd want one of everything there! *winks* Yes, I always intend to eat healthier... this year I might even succeed?! *winks* From time to time I may just have to come back and visit these visuals to keep inspired to eat fresh produce!

May 2012 be all that you Hope for... Happy New Year from the Arizona Desert... Dawn... The Bohemian

Beautiful produce! It's what we dream of here in NW Wisconsin all winter long, and why we dive into those seed catalogs as soon as they arrive in the mail - in January! (long before we can plant anything).

Isn't it amazing how food presentation can change the way we think about it? I mean, this market really knows how to present and sell!!! And, of course, being in Florida is what makes all the difference. Oh, the absolutely awful tomatoes we must endure all winter!Happy New Year to you and your family Jan!
